Description
Gweilo was founded by husband and wife Ian and Emily and their friend Joseph, who each shared a simple dream: to create fun, fresh, natural, unpasteurised beers for the people of Hong Kong and Asia to enjoy.

We originally started contract brewing our Pale Ale, IPA and Wit beers in 2015, then in June 2017, our friends at BCI, who we met whilst home brewing in Hong Kong, acquired a minority stake in Gweilo and subsequently funded and managed the building of our flagship brewery, which opened in March 2018. We have a state of the art facility with a 3500L 4-Vessel brew deck, 115000L cellar, centrifuge, rotary canning and bottling lines and a lab. Head of Brewing Operations, Brian Leslie. Supporting him is an experienced team of brewers and packaging specialists. Now things are getting serious.

We have a Core Range of six beers, a Limited Range, a Collaboration Range and in time, we’ll be introducing barrel ageing and sour programs.

Our core range is true to our British roots, formed of session style brews ranging between 4% and 6%ABV. Keeping approachability at the heart of this range, we have a Pilsner, Pale Ale, Session IPA, Hoppy Wheat, Citrus Crusher and American IPA.

Our Limited and Collaboration ranges enable us to unleash our inner beer geeks and experiment. We intend to continually push the boundaries, brewing beers which take people on a journey through the wonderful and diverse world that is craft beer.

330mL can, pours a cloudy golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out loads of passionfruit upfront, followed by guava and peach. Flavour is very bright, with heaps of juicy passionfruit upfront, followed by guava and peach. Just a hint of tanginess -- little sweetness. Really like the fruit in here. An excellent fruit beer.

Gweilo Sabro IPL 4.8% Cloudy straw gold with a rich savor aroma. Lovely creamy mouthfeel and texture. This hop excels in combination but on its own tends to underwhelm in my opinion. Nice beer though. At MBCT.

Tap at the Globe. Nice. Loads of taste for a session IPA. Aroma is pine and pineapple, bit of tropical. Easy drinking and for the strength very nice.

On tap at Old Taipa Tavern, pours a cloudy golden yellow with a small head. Nose doesn't smell very IPA-like, with maybe a touch of spicy hops, gentle fruitiness and lots of dryness biscuity malt. Flavour confirms the aromatic impression, with dry biscuity malt, light citrusy and spicy hops, and some stone fruit juiciness. Low residual sweetness, which I'm fine with, but could use more hops. Whatever it is, it's solid.

On tap at McSorley's Ale House (Macau), pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Nose is bright and clean, with piney hops, biscuity malt - the usual, but dry and clean. Flavour is bright, with dry piney hops, crisp biscuity malt, and a hint of fruitiness. Bright, clean, dry. Very thirst-quenching, despite being unremarkable.
